October 7th and its aftermath marks a turning point for North American Jewry. Many Jews, traumatized by the atrocity of October 7th, have fiercely defended Zionism and Israel’s war, while other Jews, horrified by the destruction of Gaza, have embraced anti-Zionism. Professor Shaul Magid will explore the possibilities of North American Jewish life that continue to critique Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people while reaching beyond both Zionism and anti-Zionism. He will argue for a constructive Diasporism that refocuses Jewish life away from Israel and within the communities in which we live. To join this session, you must register with this Zoom link.
